Has anyone heard of a problem with NAT translation resolving the http address as the 
internal ip address rather than the external ip address?

We are setting up an http accelerator behind our Nokia 440 firewall where the box must 
be "seen" from the outside.
I have configured address translation manually from the internal to external and back.
Created both internal and external ip's as workstations. (Tried putting external ip 
into NAT tab of internal but made no difference).
Entered "any external any accept" and "internal any any accept" on the security policy 
tab.
Finally, went on to voyager and created static route to internal ip address range and 
put a proxy arp of the external ip address on the external firewall interface ( where 
they are both in the same ip range ).

We know our accelerator sees our pings put does not reply. We have our laptop gui 
infront of the firewall and behind our ext router, and from there we can enter our 
accelerator happily using internal ip address but not external.

We are so close to cracking it (or ourselves!).
Please, does anyone know what the missing piece of the jigsaw is?
